Upcoming Korean Drama: Kim Hyun Joong's Age of Feeling 2014

As we all know, City Conquest was supposed to air early this year but because of difficult circumstances that the prodcution team expereinced, sadly it will never air, not now, not ever. Kim Hyun Joong, the star of the series already backed out of the team and filming has stopped.

 Fortunately, that did not stop Hyun Joong from acting since he signed another contract for a new drama series called Age of Feeling. It was supposed to be aired KBS on the time slot of Pretty Man but it was postponed to give way for Pretty Man. KBS promised it is not cancelled but only postponed. Filming is already taking place, so hopefully it would really push through.

The drama will follow after the conclusion of Jang Geun Suk's PrettyMan on January 2014. It is an action drama where Hyun Joong plays a fighter who is willin

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 13 Summary and Review

I know this is a late post but what the heck, just like the old saying goes"Better late than never."

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!

Episode 13 is where Cha Eun Sang finally gave in. The episode starts where they were staring at each other outside Eun Sang's part time. Kim Tan asked if the promise Eun Sang made while they were in America still valid (she would run away with him when he is in trouble). She did not answer but instead hugged him.  See, I was right that she would give in any moment.

The scene changed to Rachel and her mother talking. Rachel is told to not break up with him yet and wait

Korean Drama: Pretty Boy 2013 Episode 1 and 2 Recap

The long wait is over Bel Ami, also known by many as Pretty Boy, is now being broadcasted every Wednesday and Thursday at 21:55 in Seoul. This drama stars my favorite hallyu star Jang Geun Suk. I was not very hooked into its first episode maybe because unconsciously I am comparing it with my reaction when

Korean Drama: My Girl (2005)

This is a classic Korean Drama. I used the word "classic" since this is way back in 2005. No Lee Min Ho or Jang Geun Suk yet in this era.

I am watching this drama only because of the presence of Lee Jun Ki. You can see Jun Ki in his younger age and probably this was the time when he got really popular. He looks so cool and cute. Even until now with this new series Two Weeks, he still has his charms. Although he is not the main lead of the drama but he still plays a big role in making the drama lively and entertaining.

The story is about a girl (Lee Da Hee), who pretends to be the grand daughter of the president of a company in order to make him feel good since he is ill. Then, as she played along with the lies and the pretensions, they eventually a love triangle develops between Jun

The Heirs: Episode 12 Recap and Review

Episode 12 of The Heirs aired on November 14, 2013 at 21:55 in Seoul

So far, this is my favorite episode because a lot has been revealed. There is no secret or lie that can be kept forever. Sooner or later the truth will be known and this was the episode that reveals everything.

It started at the intersection where Eun Sang had to let go of Tan's hand and choose to give up. Young Do had to act as the bad guy by telling her not to hold onto him.

Young do also figured out that Eun Sang is a daughter of Tan's housemaid who has a speech

The Heirs Episode 11 Summary and Review

Episode 11 of the Heirs aired on November 13, 2013 21:55 in Seoul

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT

Omo, Cha Eun Sang is now in between Kim Tan and Young Do. Finally she realized that, she really likes Kim Tan but then again she cannot stay in that dream for long and had to wake up to reality. This is where Young Do had to come in to remind her of that. Too bad, he had to let Eun Sang fall to the pool and Kim Tan had to push him, so Young Do fell as well.

Is it just me or does Kim Woo Bin really looks good on the pool scene. He has this scary look on his face but on that particular part of the episode where he got his hair wet, he definitely has a tamed look. Changed my view on him being the bad one.

This episode discusses more about the relationship of Kim Tan and Young Do. Young Do realized that he lost his friend and mother way back when they were still young because of his impulsive decisions. Somehow, there is regret in his face but then again, he just has to act cool in front of

Help the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) 2013

This blog is supposed to be a happy blog, hence the name AllAboutHappyEndings, However, I cannot help but post about the recent devastation that the Super Typhoon Haiyan, aka Yolanda in the Philippines, brought about to many of the provinces in the Philippines, particularly in the Visayas region. It has been five days since the typhoon hit the country (11/8/13) but until now dead bodies found laying on the streets of Tacloban and Leyte are the headlines of every news. The whole city of Tacloban and Leyte is totally wiped out by the flood and the wind brought by the storm. The least we can do to the victims is to pray that they remain strong and to never loose thier faith in God.

On a lighter note, people from all over the country and the world are extending their support and help in the affected areas. With this, we learn to share and reach out to those who are in need of our help. Celebrities and TV Personalities from all over the world are even extending help and doing their share in spreading the word about this devastating crisis that the Philippines is going through.

Here are several ways to offer our donation to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (I am, in no way affiliated or associated with the following organizations, I only posted the link of thier website where you can also help) This is the least I could do for the victims of Haiyan.  
 
World Food Programme  Their website is set to let their visitors see the donate button right away. If you wish to donate any amount, simply click on the donate button. Website is at http://wfpusa.org/

The Philippine Red Cross  is one of the first groups to arrive in the provinces and they currently need a lot of supplies, doctors and staff to attend to the victims. Your donation will be used to get necessary medical equipments and medicines for the victims. Go to redcross.org.ph to donate directly to the Philippine Red Cross.

Those who are in the Philippines and has a BPI account which is enrolled for online banking, you can also send your donations to the ABS-CBN account. It can be found on the BPI website. Currently, the site is down, it may be because of the traffic.

MSNBC has an article where you can find a list of websites where you can donate. Go to msnbc.com

Below are screenshots of personalities who have extended thier sympathies and support and of course one of them is Lee Min Ho (though, I believe the page is made by a fan, but still thanks for the effort).

A Post from Michelle Phan's Facebook Page. She is a make up guru who owns Em Cosmetics based in New York. Though she has a very busy schedule, she still post about helping the victims. The MSNBC link is actually from her. Thank you!

I am also posting this to my other blog though I know that it has no visitors yet but just in case. :) Link to my other blog here.

I cannot express my gratitude to those who already helped. I am a Filipino and it really breaks my heart seeing my fellow countrymen having to experience this. There are more donation drives being conducted in every corners of the globe and we hope that the victims get the help they need. Bangon Visayas! Kaya natin to!

Upcoming Korean Drama: Pretty Boy 11/20/13

It's all over the Internet now that Pretty boy, starring Jang Geun Suk and IU, will air in November 20, 2013.  I think everybody is all caught up of Lee Min Ho's The Heirs Drama right now. With that said, this will be a challenge for Sukkie, since Lee Min Ho has currently captured the hearts of many. One other thing is, both dramas air every Wednesday and Thursday at the same timeslot in Seoul. Isn't that a coincidence? Maybe more like a conspiracy to me. Hmmmm Fans of Lee Min Ho and Jang Geun Suk residing in Korea would be switching networks from time to time. I'd do that, or better yet have two televisions, one tuned in to SBS (The Heirs) and the other to KBS2 (Pretty Boy). Good thing, I am not in Korea, i'd go crazy if I am there. LOL Unfortunately for me, I have to wait for a day to see the subbed version. I can go for the raw but its the same, I have to wait for a day. If there is a live broadcast of Seoul's TV networks I'd use that but then again my connection is very slow so if the streaming would go through, there would be a lag or a lot of pauses in between. Might as well wait for a day to get a smooth video playback.

Going back to Pretty Boy, Jang Geun Suk is really pretty. I think he is even prettier than IU, if he was made into a girl. LOL The story is about the most beautiful man in the world (of course, Jang Geun Suk) who wants to use his pretty face to make a lot of money. He then is tasked to make 10 women fall in love with him and this is where he met an ordinary girl of poor background who has a long crush on him.
